… a fairytale by Neu4bauer
Once upon a time there was a little German girl who loved books, arts and all things digital. On a dark and cold winter day she arrived in the queen's city, where red big busses with two decks drove around. She was a bit scared and frightened of all the people with a twisted tongue who spoke so differently than her friends at home. But on her first day at school a lovely brown haired girl asked her to accompany her to an exhibition about 'identity' and it was the first of many many hours spent together. The brown-haired girl also introduced her to a wonderful blonde girl. The three went to exhibitions, built 60 books together and could have lived happily ever after.

After six months had passed however the German girl was bound to go back to her home because of the evil ERASMUS corporation (just kidding – but we have to have the 'bad' in a fairytale ;)). The three used all modern communication ways to tell about life, love and books but they missed each other terribly.

This Monday I had the first day back to school and lectures. What better reason to do a bit of green-and-blue colour blocking (also in honour of this month's colour choice ;)). The outfit is one of my mom's favourites since she LOVES sewing blazers. This one is out of a very lightweight cotton and supposed to be more a blouse than an actual blazer. Paired with a grass-green skirt without waistband and green shoes from United Nude.

However sometimes there's a bug in it. On Monday I first slammed myself against the little tables in my law lecture and ripped off one of the blue buttons of the blazer (blessedly the bottom one *hehe*). Of course I never found that one again! Furthermore: as if they were quality shoes from Italy! No way. Whilst running over Augustusplatz the strap of these green shoes just snapped out of its fastening! The rest of the day I provisionally held everything in place with golden safety pin before I came home and could rummage through glue guns and blue buttons ;) What a day.
Do you sometimes have such days or am I the only light-headed destroyer of clothes??

With this outfit I also attended a quite interesting event in the evning called "Le Klub Analog", one of eleven different panel discussions held in Leipzig about all the different sectors of creative economy. This month they talked about 'design'. Next time it will be about books, so if you are in Leipzig on 11th April, perhaps we'll see each other (here is more information).Illustration by Neu4bauer.

Today it is a skirt and it is part of Toni's PRADA wardrobe. With a little yellow rim at the very bottom of the skirt she might feel a little overly patriotic since these are the colours of our Saxon flag, but nevertheless it is a beautiful skirt and the first time we took it out was on a little trip to Kurfürstendamm in Berlin last week. It was a beautiful day when we checked out an old grand hotel which is converted into flats and apartments, had coffee at Café Einstein and observed the people around the lovely little triangle of Schlüterstraße/Kudamm ;)

Toni combined the skirt with a black turtleneck and black pumps however the skirts are quite versatile and go with any white blouse or colourful sweater (find these at ZARA these days for as low as 12 Euro) as well!Illustration by Neu4bauer, inspired by Jordi Labanda!

The first outfit is a dress in a wonderful blue striped fabric we bought in London in 2010 at the wonderful "Cloth House" (47 Berwick Street, Soho). I only saw it as quite a formal dress but today I toned it down with a jeans jacket and flat loafers which worked quite well too! The most important about these new silhouettes from PRADA are probably the wide sleeves which work amazingly with the (in every other part) very fitting dress. Miuccia Prada created shoes with this collection which have ridiculous platforms in striped colours. I haven't found many suitable 'ripoffs' in the online shops or in high street yet, but I am still looking in order to offer a little selection of possible buys and finds for summer 2011 at the end of our little PRADA series :)

ith the blog in a new layout and the months just passing by sooo quickly I also set up the new Pinterest colour board for March featuring all the finds all over the internet which fit in this month's theme of Greens. Don't forget to check out the old boards now and then because I am still saving onto them whenever I stumble over beautiful yellow or white things ;)

As an introduction to the hopefully warm spring I want to share some picture finds from my desktop!
Yours, Theresa

This month you may thank my sister Toni who sat next to me when I looked through the new madames for march's wallpaper. I asked for her opinion and she just shouted out: can't you do like two or three?? Although I at first called her mad, I actually liked the idea and this month you can change your desktop background every 10 days!!!
